The Salmon River is closed for steelhead; however, the basin is now open to trout. Check out the sea-run cutthroat fishery in the area! You should have a decent chance of catching a trout on the Salmon River.‌

Aug. 1 was the opener for fall Chinook in the Salmon River. Like the rest of the basins, it's early in the season and won't pick up until later in August, but the Salmon River estuary is a beautiful place to try! You can also have some luck throwing a crab pot in the bay as well, although crabbing has been slower the past few weeks.
